>Ridgewood girls soccer team gives coach Jeff Yearing his 400th career win.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2011 ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
TEANECK — Jeff Yearing did not have anything “formal” planned for the occasion, but his players did.
The Ridgewood High School girls soccer coach earned the 400th win of his career Tuesday afternoon, as RHS handled Teaneck, 8-1, at Thomas Jefferson Middle School.
Yearing did not tell his players about the impending milestone ahead of time, though they all knew. In turn, the Maroons did not tell their head coach about the celebration they had planned, and he was summarily surprised by an impromptu spelling bee.
Moments after exiting the handshake line, Ridgewood players were back at the bench, diving into backpacks and emerging with homemade T-shirts that featured a “400” on the front and a letter on the back. When they lined up side-by-side to take their cool-down jog across the field, the 22 girls made sure to arrange each character (including a blank space and an exclamation point) in order to spell out “Congratulations Years!

>Michael Gibney of Ridgewood made ambassador for the Bike MS Ride
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2011 BY TERESA EDMOND STAFF WRITER SUBURBAN TRENDS
Two locals who were recently appointed ambassadors for the Bike MS Great New Jersey Country Ride are hoping to go the distance in the fight against multiple sclerosis (MS).
As ambassadors, Michael Gibney(of Ridgewood) , who works in Riverdale, and Rosemarie Collopy, who lives in Wanaque’s Haskell section, will join hundreds of area cyclists on Sept. 24 and 25 in the 24th annual Great New Jersey Country Bike Ride. The New Jersey Metro Chapter of the National MS Society organized the event.
All proceeds will support critical MS research programs and fund local programs and services for those who are impacted by the disease, including more than 13,000 people in New Jersey and more than 400,000 people nationwide.
Phil Koeghan, the Emmy Award-winning host of CBS’s “The Amazing Race,” will ride along with hundreds of area cyclists on Sept. 24.
State raise red flag over how decisions are made on regional power grid
The state is asking the operator of the regional power grid to no longer allow incumbent transmission owners to play a crucial role in determining what new electric generating stations hook up to the grid.
In a letter to PJM Interconnection, which oversees the grid serving more than 50 million people, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) suggested that the current process is “problematic.” Right now, transmission owners that have affiliates providing large amounts of electricity to the grid decide what new power plants can come online.
The issue is important to consumers in New Jersey, a state saddled with some of the highest electric bills in the nation. The problem is largely blamed on too little generating capacity, which leads to congestion on the power grid in the northern part of the state, according to agency officials. By state projections, consumers here will pay $1 billion or more this year because of congestion. (Johnson, NJ Spotlight)
Crafting an accurate system for evaluating NJ teachers
Charlotte Danielson may not be a recognizable name to the general public, but the Princeton-based consultant is the architect of a framework for observing and evaluating teachers that has been the gold standard in schools across the country.
By one count, a third of New Jersey school districts use the Danielson method in their own evaluation systems, focusing on its criteria for effective teaching. Danielson divides those criteria into 22 components across four domains: preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibility.
As the Christie administration now moves to create a statewide teacher evaluation system, the Danielson framework is one of the programs being offered to 10 pilot districts. Of course, Gov. Chris Christie is also putting a heavy emphasis on student achievement measures such as state test scores for the rest of the rating, a component not in Danielson’s system.
Last week, Danielson spoke with NJ Spotlight about the latest push for better evaluation nationwide — both strengths and pitfalls, including some worries about how New Jersey is pursuing its reforms. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)

At the elementary level, the schools will incorporate their Open Circle programs into special discussion groups, where a safe and open space is created for students of all abilities to express what is on their minds. Ridgewood High School (RHS) will incorporate discussion of disability awareness into its Freshmen F.O.C.U.S. program, with attention to the school’s offerings for students with different needs.
President Barack Obama will raise money in early October with a Missouri businessman whose company benefited from a $107 million federal tax credit to develop a wind power facility in his state.
Tom Carnahan, a scion of Missouri’s most prominent Democratic political family, is listed on Obama’s campaign website as a host of a $25,000-per-person fundraiser to be held in St. Louis on October 4.

>Fannie Mae cited for failing to stop robo-signing
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2011 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE RECORD PRINT | E-MAIL By DEREK KRAVITZ
WASHINGTON — Fannie Mae missed chances to catch law firms that were illegally signing foreclosure documents, and its government overseer did not take the right steps to ensure that Fannie Mae was doing its job, according to a federal watchdog.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s inspector general said in a report on Friday that Fannie Mae failed to establish an “acceptable and effective” way to monitor foreclosure proceedings from 2006 to early 2011. The FHFA then failed to ensure it was complying with demands that it clean up its programs.
Mortgage industry employees, including law firms working for Fannie Mae, signed documents they hadn’t read and used fake signatures on foreclosure cases across the country. The practices, known collectively as “robo-signing,” resulted in a suspension of foreclosures last fall and a probe by all 50 state attorneys general into how corners were cut to keep pace with the crush of foreclosure paperwork.
